Dario Terracotta
Player Valuation: £70m
He's actually impressed me with his defensive work in particular considering the size of him, works really hard,I am really hoping we will se an even better player next season after he has adjusted to the PL.

You are gonna cringe about that comment when you sober up
Barely though.
He's still thinking of what to do with the ball when he gets pressure and has to screen and lay it off.
He might have lit the Russian league up or whatever, but here it's intense.
tbh I expected a *bit* more from him on the attacking side(goals). But the defensive side of his game completely surprised me. So, all in all, I'd say it's a wash. Like him quite a bit.And he'll adapt, takes time to go from a league where you can take 3 seconds to make a decision to 1 second. It'll happen eventually, he has a good football brain. As long as our fans don't expect him to turn into a player who scores double figures a season.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, his size isn't an issue. He is the most physical player (besides Gana) on the pitch right now. Not afraid to get stuck in. Makes some great passes and gets people on their feet when he dribbles. If he can add a few goals he's an absolute steal.
He's really made me eat my words, if he can add finishing to his game, then we've got a player there.
He's done so much better in the last few games, very pleased with the improvement. The only issue I see right now is that he can't shoot to save his life, but hopefully he can iron that out in the next few months. Next season will be big for him once he's settled in properly.
He is visibly getting better as he becomes more accustomed to the physicality of this league. Mind you he made some rash tackles today and needed taking off before he was sent off.
